The instrument that MODWHEEL has sampled for their Biscuit Tin Guitar library is a one off, hand crafted by Steve Roche. Steve has been making tin guitars and other odd instruments for many years for use in his soundtrack work with Plan 9 and live with the bands he performs with.

This particular instrument is a 4 string fretless with open G Banjo tuning (D G B D). For sampling purposes the range of the instrument has been extended down to the E below the D of its natural range.

The instrument is fitted with a pickup and was recorded both acoustically as well as through a vintage Fender Twin Reverb amp.

As an acoustic instrument the Biscuit Tin Guitar has a wonderfully unique sound that is caught somewhere between a Dobro and a Banjo. The electric version can sit anywhere between clean and a tin can being dragged behind a car, depending on your taste.

What You Get

35 Kontakt patches both acoustic and electric, with finger and plectrum Performance. Keyswitches operate the different note options i.e. Long, Short, Mute, Semitone Slide Up and Hammer Off. There is also dynamic keyswitching to aid performance with several velocity layers and at least 3 round robins. An FX panel on each patch gives the ability to adjust the sound to further suit your requirements.

The instrument has also been used for its percussive possibilities and there are several percussion kits and BPM'd rhythm patches.

In addition there are a number of patches that play arpeggios and song patterns from a single key.

Each patch has been carefully designed to be not only expressive to play, but also very usable in a wide range of musical styles, whether for film score and sound design work, or EDM and club music, you’ll find something for all occasions.

These Kontakt Instrument patches use effects including delay, reverb, eq, saturation, phasers, flangers and many more. If you want to edit a sound, simply open up Kontakt and tweak ‘till your hearts content.

Analog Duality features a whole host of patches covering useful synth sounds including pads and strings with analogue depth and cadence, powerful synth leads that cut straight to the heart, inspiring arpeggios and sequencers, classic oldskool chords for your Deep and Future House and some of the deepest bass sounds that only quality analogue synths can provide!

Also included are 25 Multi Instruments, consisting of 2 or more patches combined to create huge, never-before heard sounds! Easily experiment by change patches and the possibilities are truly endless!

Kontakt Instruments made from multiple patches to create new and unique sounds.

Please note: Requires Native Instruments Kontakt 5.5 or later. All multi sampled audio (.wav) is available to use in any audio software that supports the standard wav format. The multi-sampled audio used in this pack is from our "Rhymes with Rogue – Bass” and "Modular Leads” sample packs which are now discontinued.

This library is a detailed emulation of a hi-end 5-string "studio custom” fretless bass from the famous Canadian company F-Bass. We recorded 12 dynamic layers for each fret of each string with different playing techniques and articulations.

The three right hand positions in one patch: normal, soft, jaco. Additional articulations - allow you to conveniently and quickly edit your midi notation or play in real-time. We have minimized the use keyswitches, making the instrument simple and intuitive to use. A sophisticated algorithm to select strings in real time, automatically selects the natural bass guitar left-hand position on the fretboard. Manual string and position selection are also available.

The library’s repetition keys make it easy to play realistic ostinato bass-lines. FX glissando will allow you to introduce new musical "colors” to your bass guitar parts. Multiple legato types are changed automatically, depending on the first note played.

Included, are several Legato modes, Open String mode, Chord Detection mode and X-note mode; for the convenience of composers and arrangers!

Fretless Bass features

2.37 GB ncw compression format.

4612 samples, 24-bit, 44.1 kHz.

Up to 12 velocity layers, 21 frets on each string with round-robin algorithm.

The Music Box is a sample library for Kontakt and EXS24. Also included in the library are wind up/wind down/crank/scrape sounds. The library has at least 6 velocity layers on each instrument (some with over 40!) with over 750 samples.

The Music Box is an intuitive instrument that is sure to stimulate creative ideas. It is capable of childlike nursery rhymes, eerie melodies, enchanting passages and much more.

The Kontakt version of The Music Box not only contains the basic instrument patch but also 10 highly useful factory patches derived from our samples. These patches range from pads and electric piano-like sounds to extra terrestrial sound fx

This is a sample library of a beautiful Darabuka that I’ve received as a gift and thought it would make a great addition to use in my projects, especially since I’ve sampled certain articulations that I mostly use. This Darabuka was recorded with 4 dynamic layers per articulation and with 2 dynamic layers for the rolls. I haven’t recorded any RRs, but you’ll find that there are enough articulations and velocity layers to create a fairly realistic performance with it.

The Darabuka was captured in mono using the AKG 420 Perception microphone, which really brought out the clarity of the instrument while retaining the body. I’ve included a MIDI file performance using the instrument, which will give you an idea of how to use the instrument.

I’ll be further expanding on this instrument in the future by recording lots of Round Robins than I originally did, more articulations, and a couple more mic positions. In the meantime, please enjoy using this simple but articulate instrument!

The Alien Drum (aka Hang Drum – trademarked by Pan Art) is a unique tone based percussion instrument, which is almost impossible to come by, since there is only one maker in the world and less than 1000 drums in circulation. The instrument has a soft, sorrowful, melancholic tone to it and is a perfect companion for emotional or ambient type of scores. The Tonehammer Alien Drum is unique in the sense it was recorded at an average of 15 velocity layers and with 10 round-robin repetitions pr. layer/note, so you will never experience any repetition in the articulation.

We used custom microphone set-ups to capture the delicate resonance both inside and outside the drum, since the resonance defines the true sound of the drum. Additionally we sampled multiple playing techniques with fingers, palm, slaps, hand brushing and the back-side of the drum, which has the similar properties to the Udu. Multiple versions of all multis allow for a variety of ways to switch or fade between articulations while playing.
